4.Private Montenegro Tour – Budva, Kotor & Sveti Stefan from Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $222

Private Montenegro day trip from Tirana with Kotor Old Town, St Tryphon Cathedral, Sveti Stefan and Budva, plus hotel pickup and English guide.

“This is false advertising. We did not stop at several of the stops let alone for the time that was stated in the itinerary. I’d recommend going on your own or with a different company. The guide himself was nice, albeit a wild driver (50kmph over the speed limit). Sadly, this was not worth the money spent. After bringing this up to the company and Viator the only compensation was 50€ retuned. Unfortunately, we paid over 4 times that originally.”
